Easy

Spoken like a scholar and a gentleman.

Easy

Is this... really you?

Medium

A faded sticker draws your attention -- an advertisement for a local ferry schedule. The year: 82.

Trivial

This isn't going to get you anywhere. Better pay her another visit in-person.

Medium

This is the final stage of the simulation. She arranged it all this way. For you to find each other at the end.

Medium

Wake up. This isn't Melita.

Easy

'Miracle' Line -- like the card in PSEUDOPOD's pocket. It's a phone sex thing.

Medium

It's a testament to the Ombre Hombre's popularity that they've been able to afford to keep it running this long.

Trivial

You know... these kind of magazines often have illustrated centrefolds... or detachable posters...

Trivial

So the trail ends here.

Medium

Distrust as a replicating sickness.

Medium

He... wrote a case study about you?

Medium

Probably not about you.

A convenient framing, allowing him to foment his own distrust at... apparently everything.

No need to spend your own money when you can simply borrow somebody else's.

Money now, problems later.

Free money, no downsides detected.

Easy

Must have already been moved out of the cell, ready for the trade.

Trivial

Maybe she'll answer if you call her from Foto 24 -- it's safer there.

Easy

You will need to remember this number. No need to make it difficult.

Trivial

It didn't work last time. It won't this time.

Trivial

Having EMTERR as a sponsor doesn't come without a hefty price. She's paying for it in some way.

Trivial

Must be something to do with her sponsor, the Civilisation Trust -- arrangements like that often come with a hidden cost.

Trivial

Must be something to do with her sponsor -- arrangements like that often come with a hidden cost.

Medium

She only said she's in charge of the magazine -- not the subeditor, nor the building.

Medium

Probably covering for her. Possibly in denial about her subordinate's incompetence.

Easy

The venn diagram is a perfect circle.

Medium

Just because the words formed in your head, does not mean you had to speak them.

Medium

Just what the assignment called for. Some Big Thinking.

Trivial

These people love words. Use them to find out what it will take to get them to open the door for you.

Easy

It was bad, not horrendous, as that would make it memorable.

Easy

No doubt due to the security breach you enacted. An unfortunate knock-on effect.

Easy

Your little security breach and subsequent escape must have had something to do with it.

Trivial

She's referring to the honour book stall next to her.

Medium

That's the polite way of saying 'astronomically'.

Easy

The Miracle Line.

Medium

There seems to be no creditor in this man.

Medium

How weird, right?

Medium

You can bet that EMTERR developed a thought-free process for this.

Formidable

Kurt gets it as much as a dog gets the weather. Sometimes it's wet. Or warm. Sometimes both. All very baffling.

Easy

Deliberate, wild, oddly indecent.

Who is Hershel Wilk? What is techno-fascism? Is squirt piss?

Heroic

He's right... the vegetables are probably setting up home in your brain grooves right now.

Challenging

You ran right into that one.

Challenging

A possible rendezvous. Actionable intelligence.

Formidable

The negotiator said he had a 'request', and suggested tomorrow night.

Mind reading level: Tutorial.

Challenging

Alright, that's got to be the last step.

Legendary

Four centuries ago, approximately.
